missing codec in Media Player to play LabVIEW training video over Web

[mg@cmu]

I get a "missing codec 130" message when I try to run LV training video from NI website. The error link takes me to MS site but codec is not available for download (apparently). WM player is configured for auto download of codecs cant find it. I have re-downloaded WM player twice and also run windows update.

Any ideas what to do next?

Hi mg,

After googling around, it appears as though "codec 130" is referring to an ACELP Sipro codec.

If you enable codec download in WMP, the codec should be installed automatically when you play the video. However, if it does not, then it's possible that the codec may already be there and there may be an issue with the codec already installed.

http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html#wmv is a link about installing/downloading this codec.

I'm not sure if you've tried this yet, but is it possible to uninstall WMP first and then reinstall? Also, I would maybe look into finding ways to uninstall/unregister codecs to see if we can reload the codec.
